Would you ever tell someone you like them?

[Anonymous]

I wouldn’t, honestly. Telling someone how you feel is dangerous because you’ll never know how they’ll react. I suppress my feelings.

A healthier approach is to tell people what you like about them rather than the generic "I like you," which requires people to make assumptions as to what you truly mean. That's like a friend fixing you up with someone and saying "He has a good personality." A similar situation would be to make someone dinner and then ask "how was the dinner?" If they respond "Good," what have you truly learned from that experience? How can you apply acquired knowledge to future experiences? Another option would be to say "I was experimenting with tonight's dinner. Please share what stood out and how it impacted you."

True, silence is powerful. But sometimes i feel depending on the situation, you have to, so that person can move on with their life.

I just told a friend, to move on and go away, and I think he is nasty piece of work, and stop interfering with life.

Yes I will if there not taken
Not telling them is just telling them and getting a no, without even a chance of a yes. its just a worst option in my option

[TonyMetal___86]

Yes i'll tell them, because i'm someone who likes to get things off my chest and i really don't care how they react, at least i'll know hoe they feel towards me too...

Back when i was a teenager i regret suppressing my feelings cause it made me lonely and sad, if i learned how to express my feelings in a comfortable way, maybe i wouldn't be that lonely kid sitting alone in the school's playground with no girlfriend and no love life at all...

I learned a long time ago to never tell someone you like them or they’ll get mad.

[TonyMetal___86]

Why would they get mad? If i'm going to tell someone that i like them and they don't appreciate it than i'll throw them away and seek someone who truly deserves my kindness and someone who likes me back...
It happens, sometimes you like the wrong people, you treat them good and they treat you bad, you start to wonder why, i learned to never ask why, they are just mentalli ill people who needs to be treated, if they like me back than welcome and if they don't than bye bye!

I feel the same way. Telling someone your feelings makes you vulnerable and wide open for pain.

[Reorx]

Yes, I would. You can't predict with certainty how anyone will react, only probability. So what if they dont feel the same? Now you don't have to waste anymore time on a fruitless venture.

[slatyb]

Yes, by asking them out.
